"When the war is over, I will marry you." - Zhong Jiaoyang said to Xia Zhenzhen.
"I want to tell the whole of China about your heroic deeds." - Jing Chen said to his comrades.
One of them is a combat hero and the other is a war correspondent. They were once classmates in the Soviet Union and are now brothers of life and death on the Korean battlefield.
Among them, there is Xia Zhenzhen, a girl from the art troupe who is as bright as a flame.
However, war is never a romantic fairy tale.
When Jingchen tremblingly sent out the telegram recording Mao Anying's sacrifice, when his best brother Zhong Jiaoyang became a member of the "Ice Sculpture" company in Changjin Lake, when Xia Zhenzhen's singing was drowned out by artillery fire...
Jingchen finally understood that he could not just be a recorder. He picked up the gun and walked into the purgatory on camera.
Can the lens of a war reporter reveal the hope of survival?
Can the singing of the art troupe members cross the other side of death?
A memory spanning forty years, an ultimate secret about love and sacrifice...
"Beyond the Line of Fire - Before I Cross It Off the List" is a warm work that will make you burst into tears, but make you cherish the peace of the moment even more.
